    Little tip; when you put ricotta and spinach together (or ricotta with anything tbh) add nutmeg. Makes the whole things worth eating. :)

    Hi :)

    I agree about Nutmeg - but not with Tomatoes... I prefer without nutmeg when tomatoes are involved... now, with garlic and lemon, is another story :):)

    My recipe is based on tomatoes.... so I read your response as being in response to my recipe, which makes it about tomatoes :):):) No harm done :) There is also no spinach in my recipe... it is basil. Check out the OP again :)
